Banjo-Kazooie (10/28)

Banjo-Kazooie was created by Rare, the same developers as Goldeneye 007 and Conker’s Bad Fur Day. Similar in style to games like Super Mario 64, players control the beloved bear and bird duo, Banjo and Kazooie. Working in tandem, the two unlikely heroes must defeat the evil witch Gruntilda and rescue Banjo’s sister.

This adventure game is memorable for a huge variety of reasons, including its wildly imaginative levels, unlockable moves, interesting puzzles, and unique style. Unlike Super Mario 64, Banjo and Kazooie must travel through some threatening lands, like “Bubblegloop Swamp” and “Rusty Bucket Bay”. The dangers and enemies you’ll face are often much more sinister, which is balanced with some wacky comedy and quirky gameplay mechanics.
